Also, make sure you set your macros right. Don't use benediction unless you ABSOLUTELY have to. Benediction draws the second most hate of any attack/skill/spell/etc. in the game (Invincible being first), so unless you know that your party will be able to kill the mob before it kills you, just let one person die rather your whole party. White mages are ALWAYS wanted (pretty much, the only time I chose two RDMs over a WHM was when the only WHM available was a GAL at level 11 in the dunes.) in parties, so you shouldn't have any trouble as long as you can play well. Don't waste money on spells you don't need, half of the Bar- spells are pretty much pointless, I can't really think of any others at the moment.
